2nd and 3rd egg so far from my 5 girls, at 19 weeks old!
Beautiful shade of brown. What breed laid these eggs?

2nd and 3rd egg so far from my 5 girls, at 19 weeks old!
I have orpingtons and the deal was they could be returned if they turned out to be roosters.We're not allowed roosters here. My ''Betty White'' turned out to be "Bertram''.We got ''her'' at about !6 wks and she wasn't crowing then! In this case the breeder got it wrong! So don't feel bad that you didn't notice the signs.I didn't either. Thankfully he was replaced with another who is now laying.Well, my one buff orp that I thought was ready to lay surprised me with a first today--not a first egg but a first rooster crow instead. She (he) is 15 weeks old--is it normal for a rooster to wait that long to crow?
I had a closer look after the crow and realized that I have been ignoring a lot of signs. We'll chalk it up to being a rookie
Welome to BYC !Tell them it's time they paid ''rent'' Ha HaI'm new girl...from Rhode Island. My husband & I have 6 chickens at about 22 weeks old. Waiting eagerly for our first eggs too! We think they're so spoiled that they think they don't need to work for it. Ha ha! Open to any tips, so feel free! Thanks!
your girls are beautiful! I have 12 isa browns that will be 17 weeks on friday and I am very impatiently waiting for eggs. I was hoping they would be like some and lay at 14 weeks, but they don't want to give them up yet. Lol
